“Braelyn was great and gave us updates daily on Willow! She asked us questions and made us feel at ease leaving our pup with them! Followed directions and even water our plants! They went above and beyond.”
“Amie and Dom went above and beyond during their stay with our dog! They did an amazing job bonding with our shy puppy and kept the house in great shape while we were gone for 10 days. Very communicative with daily updates. Couldn’t recommend these two enough, we will definitely be using them again!”
“I have so many incredible things to say about Lauren! My poor Clint had just had surgery that didn’t go well, so he wasn’t in the best shape. She gave him his meds, made him feel as comfortable as possible, and continuously kept me updated. She definitely went way above and beyond what a normal sitter should do. Most importantly she made me feel like he was safe. I have already started booking her again! Fantastic Rover sitter!”
“Mandy makes traveling so easy! She's very professional and reliable. She takes great care of my girl and keeps me updated. I don't worry for a moment with Mandy in the house.”
“Kristen was perfect! She stayed with my dog, and his temperament was so much better when I returned vs leaving him with friends, or having a neighbor kid come over for an hour or two a day. Do not hesitate to book Kristen for your next pet sitting needs!”
“Josh was so great and attentive while staying at our place and watching our dog Asher. Our pup has separation anxiety and has a very sensitive tummy so we knew that there might be a few issues with that while we were away, but Josh handled them perfectly and was able to switch up Asher's diet and give him some much needed probiotic treatment while we were away. He sent so many pics and kept us updated while we were out of town which was so helpful as we too were a little bit anxious about leaving our dog with someone new for the first time. When we got home, we could tell that Asher was well taken care of so we will definitely be requesting Josh's help again in the future!”
“Kelly was so amazing!! We left for 7 nights and needed a sitter we could trust. She was communicative and sent many updates throughout the day. I was running in a race during my trip and she even created a sign for the race that was “from the dogs” that said “Go mom!” It was the cutest thing ever and an extra special gesture that let me know how caring and attentive Kelly is. 10/10 and I will 1000% be hiring Kelly again! I think everyone should hire Kelly except for the weekends when I need her lol”
“Mckinzie is a repeat sitter for us! She always walks our dogs which is much appreciated because they are high energy and very active. She sends photos too. Definitely recommend.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She sent pics of Luna to let us know how she was doing throughout our trip. She even text me to make sure we got home okay after she had already left for the day. Will definitely be using her again in the future. ?”
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies :) she walked Bee, made sure she took her medicine, and gave them both plenty of snuggles. I would absolutely rebook if needed <3”
“Michael was so great to our dogs. We have an elderly senior 16 year old, who needs a lot of care and Michael was there for all of it. Medication, multiple potty breaks, hand feeding Charlie. Buster got to know him,and became a best friend. The dogs really enjoyed having him. Thank you so much .”
“Brooke was fantastic. She was quick with her responses, gave daily detailed updates and photos, and did a great job of keeping my dog in her routine. Not only did she take great care of my dog, but also of my home. Brooke went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Sofia did a WONDERFUL job with my epileptic dog! My home was spotless, she gave me regular updates, and most importantly my pets were so happy. I felt confident she could handle any emergencies if they arose, and she gave his meds no problems!”
“Cindy was such a great sitter for our two dogs. She was extremely professional, communicative, and kind. She went above and beyond in several ways and I would highly recommend her.”
“Natalie is a fantastic sitter. Not just great with the pups, but keeps a clean home. Comes well prepared and know dogs as well as anyone I know. She's on the short list of best dog sitter's in the region for sure.”
“Scarlett is the type of sitter you hope to find on here! They are extremely professional and communicate extremely well! Lucky I found them and will continue to book with them for my pet needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arvada
Morgan watched my fur babies for a week, house sitting while I was on vacation. She sent several updates, including pictures, had good communication regarding her work schedule and any time she would be away, and deescalated an unexpected tiff between my 2 dogs. She even checked with me about our trip departure and arrival times, stopping by for an extra walk on the last day to get some zoomies out before I flew home. The dogs seemed to love her, and I would definitely hire her again.
Jennifer is fantastic! I went on vacation knowing my two pups were her top priority, with lots of walks, yard time, and cuddles to fill their days. She is attentive, administered meds and navigated other special needs, and communicated well. Book her the next time you’re heading out of town!
Erica did great watching our Great Pyrenees, Sully! She sent pictures and updates daily and was very communicative. When we came home the house was clean, Sully had fresh food and water, and she went above and beyond by washing the sheets and taking out the trash. Sully and his parents appreciate you!
Brooke did an incredible job with our 3 dogs while out of town. Brooke stayed at our home and left it beautifully clean! Our dogs were happy and well cared for during our time. Brooke went above and beyond with pictures, notes and most of all care. She gave her utmost to our dogs and to keeping our home well kept. We are most appreciative and will call Brooke again. Thank you so much Brooke!

FAQs for House Sitting - Arvada
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arvada on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,928 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arvada. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Arvada walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Arvada maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Arvada choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
